Language Department Language plays an important part in our lives. It is an essential factor in our civilization. Mastering a foreign language, therefore, is a great accomplishment. Rhodes gives its students opportunities to study three languages: French, Latin, and German. Many in our graduating class have taken advantage of this opportunity and, as a result, have found the English language simplified. A foreign language does not only simplify our own, but it also maintains our ability to know and understand the customs and traditions of other countries. This is an important point to be stressed, for we in the United States need to know and understand other countries in order that we may understand our own. Martha Kenyon Art Department Art at Rhodes offers students the chance to express themselves in many different media such as watercolor, charcoal, and pencil. Also, many of the art classes specialize in handicraft projects using leather, metal, or clay in order to give students a chance to apply their particular art skills. The interest in art is heightened by the opportunity to gain recognition through competition in exhibits for prizes. 3 Norman Magden Music Department Snappy marches, semi-classical music, and beautiful songs are all an important part of our wonderful music department. Music, both vocal and instrumental, entertains us and helps to take some of the pressure off school life. The fabulous concerts will be remembered by both those who participated in them and those who heard them. Robert Plunder Gilbert Van Nortwlck
